Chapter 195: Gathering Quartermasters: I'm a Professional

Lianguan County is located in the northeast of Luo'an County, bordered by Lingchang County to the south, Pingdan County to the west, Guang'an County to the north, and Ningmei County to the east.

The territory is mountainous, except for the banks of the Luo River and the banks of the Lianhe River of the tributaries of the Luo River are plain terrain, the rest is mostly mountainous and hilly, especially the northernmost and western parts, which are all mountainous, the roads are impassable, and it is difficult for people and animals to walk.

The county seat of Lianguan County is located on the north bank of the Lianhe River, about 30 kilometers away from the Luo River in the west and about 20 kilometers away from Jinghu Town in the north.

The fertile land and the many streams that make this small plain a good piece of arable land.

The grain produced in this small plain accounts for at least 40 percent of the county's production, feeding at least 100,000 people in and around the county.

Lianguan County, which owns the Lianhe Plain and the plains along the Luohe River, even though the territory is mountainous, still has 30% of the land that is arable.

If such a place is in other areas other than Daheng, it is estimated that it will be regarded as a first-class county, the land of fish and rice.

However, in Luo'an County, it is just a very ordinary county, and it can only be reduced to an inferior county because it has no special advantages.

And if you zoom in to the entire Nanhai Prefecture, then it is a typical poor and remote country.

As mentioned earlier, more than 30 percent of Daheng's land is arable land, and the area of arable land alone has reached more than 2 million square kilometers.

Many states and counties are flat, and as far as the eye can see, all of them are arable land!

The natural geographical conditions of Nanhai Prefecture are also quite good, more than half of the land in the state is arable land, and many of them belong to the fertile alluvial plains.

Some scholars' research shows that if cattle farming is used hundreds of years ago for intensive cultivation, the grain produced in Nanhai Prefecture alone is enough to feed 100 million people!

You must know that there are only more than 200 million people in the whole Daheng now, and the nine counties of Nanhai Prefecture combined have a population of more than 20 million.

But then it didn't happen!

Hundreds of years ago, Daheng began to abandon ox farming and turned to horse farming, planting widely and harvesting, that is, because there was too much arable land and too little population.

If you play ox farming, how much land can such a person plant?

A place like Lianguan County is not bad in a place other than Daheng, but in Daheng, in Nanhai Prefecture, and in Luo'an County, it is a typical inferior county.

In the past, if an official was sent to Lianguan County to serve as a county warden, it was a proper demotion.

Even if the world is chaotic now, even places like Guanxian are not places that officials like to come to.

Many officials are serving here, and they are all bent on making money, and then use the money to run in the hope of being transferred out of this ghost place as soon as possible.

Huang Feipeng, the current county guard of Lianguan County, came with such a plan.

Two years ago, he spent a full 50,000 Hengyuan to operate to the position of county guard of Lianguan County, and in the past two years, he has not dared to rest for a day, working hard every day, and working hard.

In order to get enough money one day earlier, and then use it to operate and transfer to a better place, or simply take the money and become a rich man.

Two years have passed, and even if there is a lot of chaos outside, his wallet is getting more and more bulging.

From spending all his net worth two years ago to taking office alone, to the boxes of no less than 100,000 Hengyuan gold coins piled up in the cave of his private house, and to saving 100,000 yuan in Nanzhou Bank, he feels that his efforts have been rewarded.

As the saying goes, if you have money, you don't panic, so even if Lin Ziran's people arrive in the city, he can face it calmly.

It's a big deal, Lao Tzu shouldn't be the county guard, take the money and go chic!

What's more, in recent years, the feudal towns have been fighting back and forth, and there have been countless casualties, but I have not heard that there is no military power, and the town guards and county guards of pure civilian officials have died unexpectedly.

The master on the side saw Huang Feipeng's indifferent expression and was a little puzzled.

With doubts, he said, "My lord, you must not be worried, right?" ”

Huang Feipeng smiled: "It's a good thing that the supplementary brigade wants to enter the city to garrison, and it's too late for the official to be happy, so that those bandits outside won't have the audacity to loot everywhere." ”

The master was still puzzled: "What if they mess around?" ”

Huang Feipeng said: "What's messing around, rest assured, there's nothing to be afraid of." ”

Speaking of this, he decided that he needed to mention his master, who had been with his subordinates for several years, and his consciousness was too low.

So I only listened to him continue: "Master, you must know that the yamen beaten by iron and the feudal town of flowing water! ”

"They are all busy fighting for the world, how can they have the time and interest to govern the place, in the end, it is not up to us local officials to help them govern the place, without us local officials, they can't even collect taxes, what soldiers do they raise, what kind of world do they fight."

"Over the years, the various feudal towns have changed one after another, but we still continue to be our officials!"

"As long as we cooperate with them, if they want to collect taxes, they will collect taxes, and if they want to recruit soldiers, then they will be recruited, in short, follow them, there will be no problems!"

Hearing Huang Feipeng say this, the master was puzzled at first, but after a few seconds, he showed a look of sudden realization: "Your Excellency is really wise!" ”

At the same time, even Scar and Xu Zhongshu outside Guan County also arrived in the army, and Xu Zhongshu, who was riding on a horse, looked around, and then sighed: "Brother Wang, although this place is still a little worse, but it is really going to be controlled, it is a lot of benefits for us to supplement the brigade."

"The Lianhe Plain on both sides of the Lianhe River is rich in grain, and the Lianhe River navigates the Luo River, and even this county town is also a key road!"

"Moreover, the east and west of the county are surrounded by the Lian River on three sides, leaving only the north and the land border, if you occupy this place, it will be difficult for the enemy to directly cross the river to attack."

When Xu Zhongshu spoke, the scar on the side looked a little strange, although his surname was Wang and he also had a name, but he didn't like others to call him by his name, he preferred to be called his nickname Scar.

If it's a title like shouting the sword master, he prefers it.

It's a pity that this Xu Zhongshu is very old-fashioned, and he has always called him Brother Wang, and he has said it several times and people have not changed his words.

This also makes Scar very helpless, he can't just cut someone because he is called Brother Wang, not the knife master.

Anyway, this man is also his chief of staff now.

So Scar ignored this title and continued: "Now that the city gate has been opened, let's enter the city, and after entering the city, the deployment of the troops will have to trouble Brother Xu!" ”

Xu Zhongshu smiled and nodded: "This is all Xu's business, but Brother Wang, your task is heavy!" ”

Scar grinned: "It's a trivial matter, such a big county, if Lao Tzu doesn't get a hundred thousand subsidies for military supplies, I won't have the face to see adults!" ”

said solemnly: "Brother Xu, you have to believe me, I am a professional in gathering military supplies!" ”

Xu Zhongshu said: "Brother Wang's methods are naturally first-class, but we are new to the situation, and the situation is not familiar, I don't know how Brother Wang is going to start!" ”

Scar said to Huang Feipeng and his party of officials and gentry who were coming out to greet them in front: "Naturally, I will attack them first!" ”

Xu Zhongshu was puzzled: "Attack them? ”

Scar said: "If you don't attack them, it's hard to do it to those bitter haha, just those bitter haha, the brothers can't squeeze a few taels of oil when they're tired!" ”

"But they're different, they're all fat and oily!"

As he spoke, Scar had a smile on his face.

But in Xu Zhongshu's opinion, Scar is about to drool directly now!
